Dry Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt

½ cup butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt or round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in coconut milk, vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add Grated Coconut: Gently fold in the grated coconut evenly throughout the batter.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35–45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Garnish: Optionally, garnish the cooled cake with extra coconut before serving.
